You'll have to sign up for an account in the issue tracker if you  
want to file new tickets or add comments to existing ones, but you  
should be able to just search without logging in. Go to http:// 
www.macports.org/ and click Support & Development in the left  
navigation. Then click View Tickets in the top navigation. Then click  
Custom Query over on the right. Then select Summary from the Add  
Filter menu. Then type your search string into the text box and click  
Update.

To register for an account or log into an existing one, click  
Register or Log In at the top right of any issue tracker page.
